Why PCl5 is used in organic rections than NCl5?

The fact that NCl5 does not exist might come into play. Think about it. NCl5 does not exist


Pcl5 is formed but Ncl5 is not formed why?

NCl5 does not exist bcoz nitrogen atom does not have d-orbitals to accomodate electrons from chlorine atoms and nitrogen cant accomodate more than 8 electrons in its valence shell. so its covalency exists only upto four.... pcl5 exists bcoz phosphorus atom has vacant d orbitals to accomodate electrons and thus pcl5 exists

Why PF5 is known but neither NCl5 nor NF5 is known?

There are 5 outermost electrons in both phosphorus and nitrogen atoms but in nitrogen no more than three unpaired electrons are possible due to absence of d-orbitals in 2nd energy level so nitrogen may form only three covalent bonds (as NCl3 and NF3) but d-orbitals are present in 3rd energy level of Phosphorus so in excited state it may have five unpaired electrons and may form PCl5.
